Man, Whew! Aretha 'tears it up here! she breaths new life into this old standard and man, does she swing it!

[lapislazuli7]

Wow... and what a smile! :)

[luisalberto1975]

Feliz Cumpleaños Mamaaaaaaá , mas conocida como la Soa Lily jaja, acá con su ídola Aretha Franklin, a disfrutar de las canciones, hoy seré mamón y que? jajaja, felicidades Lilian.

Aretha's version of this Jolson classic is one of my favorites. Thanks so much for sharing this great clip! :)

[carlosthomasfernande]

no one does this better than Judy and this is coming from a devoted follower of Aretha....

[22moviefan22]

this song has such a life of it's own. hearing her sing it , and listening to someone like al jolson you question if it's even the same song. BUT SONGS LIKE THIS HAVE A LIFE ALL THEIR OWN THEY CARRY THRU GENERATIONS. and give us great vids like this :) thanks for uploading

[Andremedia]

How early is this? She was a good sport to go along with this I think.

[Julcisko]

She´s absolutely amazing...simply and beautiful.

[ZebFAN00]

It was originally on the 1962 album "the Electrifying Aretha Franklin" (which unfortunately is not on itunes) I'd imagine you could find it on amazon or a place like that.

[pannoni1]

What Aretha may be thinking now: "I cannot believe it has been 50 years since my first album!" We've just had Motown 50 (though it stayed mostly underground unlike Motown 25), and we need some special 50th Anniversary Gold edition sometime this year. There are other notable milestones, such as Elvis' 75th birthday along with a single package, and hard to believe, but 25 years since Whitney Houston first came out, and those two have re-releases/compilations. Time to open the vaults again!

[Althepal1967]

Where can you download this one? I tunes didn't have it.

[QuincyCHL]

Great, perfect live performance. !!!

[hfest08]

I bought this record back in the mid to late 50's. It had three other song on it that I can't remember now, but they were all fantastic.

[mrgbennet]

The greates female singer of all time (including the Opera set) imho.

[patcarter59]

Long live the Queen, I grew up with Aretha at the piano, and OMG don't let the sprit hit her on whater she is singing. There will never ever be an Aretha Franklin. My all time favorite song and performance by her.

[DSBisGOD]

i love this song. esp. judy garland singing it. but wow aretha singing it is amazing. and its so different from judys. she is so amazing :D

[dpohunter]

Hard to believe, but this song was Aretha's only Top 40 hit while she was at Columbia (1960-1967)! So much of her work during that period was sadly overlooked. The range of material she was given- and the manner in which she mastered it- was incredible!

[BronxBob]

@dpohunter I didn't know this was her only To 40 hit while at Columbia. That's strange. I can't imagine, every note coming out of her mouth, not being a hit from that era. She is a great Vocalist.

[dpohunter]

@BronxBob AMEN to that! Is is true that Columbia gave her lots of material that simply was wrong for her, but despite that, most of what she recorded for the label was fantastic...and worthy of chart success. A listen to any of her early albums (most available on CD) will prove this out. She's a super talent.

[Jeffrey1344]

I think this performance is from Shindig. It is wonderful.

[54spiritedwill54]

Beautiful!

[shoreflight]

Aretha recorded this and other jazz type songs on Columbia records. Columbia wanted Arteha to appeal to the mainstream. Little did they know that Atlantic records could spot a potential R&B and rock star, who also would appeal to the general listening audience. Thanks for posting.

ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF SOUL!!!

she is the best soul singer of all time. i think she is probably the biggest inspiration to all singers today

[gee3dee]

can someone tell me how to play this song on piano...please

[THAProblemNRoca]

I have to come by and watch this over and over. thx for posting this lol when she gets up from the piano its over.

[monrayday]

me too. i love this. best performance of the sixties in my opinion

[OtisJackSeals]

I've looked for this sung song by Jerry Lewis, anyone have it?

go

Aretha, great music.

[Jeffrey1344]

It is on an album called Just Sings. I looked for it forever and remember his version of this am other standards. It is wonderful.

[monrayday]

this is simply the reason why shes the best singer ever. an instant fav.

[LauraAmiga]

Thank you for your comment. I can see you are a real Aretha fan.

[monrayday]

no problem, thanks for the upload. she also did her first church solo, at 11 or 10, if im not mistaken. also check out her gospel album she released when she was 14 years old, its still out on cd today. even then so much power n soul. and she belts up a storm too.

[chixaladymusic]

She is a POWERHOUSE!

[hah13]

before Atlantic Records knew what to do with her talent  This was probably on Columbia records

[LovinLife7777]

Thanks for sharing LauraAmiga, love this performance. I believe this performance is from 1963, and Aretha was only 21. Seemed as though she had been playing and singing for years already.

To answer someone else's question, this song appeared on Aretha's 1962 "The Electrifying Aretha Franklin." It was recently released as as 2-on-1 set with 1963's "Laughing On The Outside").

[LauraAmiga]

Thank you for your great information.

[monrayday]

aretha had been playin and singing for about 14 years. she began at 7

[chixaladymusic]

WOW!!!!

[oneloveatatime]

I love this vintage Aretha....thanks for posting

[LauraAmiga]

Thanks for your comments and for suscribing to my videos.

[ThomasAjt]

Aretha Was 19 here. U go Aretha!

[31512299]

This is an Al Jolson song from the 20's.

[Madzz101]

This is great. I love this song. Does anybody know which album this song appears on. I used to own it, but loaned it and never got it back! If anyone can help...

[LauraAmiga]

I am not an expert, but this is what I know...

This song is from 1961 but I don't know if it was included in an album or not.

It is really included in the recopilatory album "The Great" (2003 or 2004).

[taddyd1]

Swing it Dinah jr.!

[NINTHMARINE]

WOW. Put me in my seat Aretha C.A.

[arr2ssr]

nice

[laron214]

i saw this before on video set for shindig with a lot of other great r and b artists. she was so young here. i love to see her on the piano. this was just a glimpse of what was to come.

[YRSAL]

Beautyful!
